What our members say
The Collective is more than a membership — it’s a space where emerging equine artists connect, grow, and share their creative journey together. Here’s what some of our members have to say about their experience.
As a one man wolf pack,
I enjoy the comradery between everyone here. I think many of us work alone, so having somewhere to vent, share ideas & even have a laugh is cool.
This safe work space of the Collective is a great source of inspiration, advancement and support. The services are all-encompasing and the ethic of working as a group brings mutual benefits.

My favorite part of PV is the sense of community when you are feeling unsure or need inspiration! So many people that are willing to help and think along. And the meetups!
I've yet to come across another collective for equine artists like it. There is such a wide variety of knowledge and experience, and everyone is supportive and encouraging!
